Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 20, 1915.

Application filed December 17, 1912, Serial No. 737,273. Renewed March 3, 1915. Serial No. 11,878.

To allrwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY L. BEA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jenkintown, in the county of Montgomery and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Awning- Frames, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to awning frames and one of the principal objects of the invention is to provide a simple and efiicient structure of this class having a minimum number of fastening devices and constructed in such manner that, it may be readily re* moved or taken down without getting out of the window.

Further objects of this invention will appear as the following specific description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this apphcation, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view vice with the awning shown in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a detail side elevation with parts broken away. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is .a

view in side elevr lowered.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 represents an ordinary window frame tion showing the awning to the opposite sides of which are secured the supporting devices 2. These supporting devices are substantially U-shape in form having both of their legs 3 and 4 apertured to receive the connecting bolts 5 and 6. The supporting devices are connected to the frame by an integral screw 7 which is adapted to thread into the frame as shown, said screws being formed on the exterior surface of the supporting devices 2 at a point medially of the length therebf and projectin rearwardly therefrom. Removably secure in the supporting devices by the bolts 5 is a U-shaped frame 8 whose upper end is held in removable engagement with the frame by the screw hooks 9. A similar U-sha ed frame 10 is secured in the su porting devices by the bolts 6 and is adapte to be arranged at right angles to the frame 8 or to lie paror the as -It will be noticed that when the upper portion of the frame 8 is in engagement with the screw hooks and its lower ends or;terminals of its legs connected in the, supporting devices by the bolts 5 that the same cannot be raised or lowered. Also by disconnecting the bolts 5 and slightly elevating the frame-- 8 the same may be disengaged from the screw hooks. Then by removing the bolts 6v the entire awning may be taken down without compelling the operator to get out of the window. In putting up the awning the frame 8 is engaged with the screw hooks 9 and the terminals of its legs' connected to the supporting devices by the bolts 5, the frame 10 then has its terminals secured in the supporting devices by the bolts 6. Any suitable means for raising and lowering the awning maybe provided. I

Referring to Fig. 4 it will be noted that theawning can be lowered at night and thus prevent the currents of air from coming into direct contact with the occupants of the I window casing, a pair of U-shaped frames,

a separate bolt for each terminal of said U-shaped frames for pivotally connecting the frames to said -U-shaped supporting member, said bolts being arranged in the same horizontal plane.

- In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
